Vegan Options at Burger King

By PhilippeIngredient checks Reviewed Oct 2026 · US menu
THE VERDICTYes, with one swap

Burger King is one of the better burger chains for vegans. Order the Impossible Whopper with no mayo, and add fries. At breakfast, the French toast sticks and hash browns are vegan as served.

The Impossible patty is cooked on the same broiler as beef unless you ask for it to be prepared another way.

Burger King was the first big US burger chain to put a plant-based burger on its permanent menu, and it's still the easiest burger chain for a vegan meal. You need to make one change to the burger and you're done.

How to order the Impossible Whopper vegan

  1. Order an Impossible Whopper, no mayo.
  2. Add mustard or extra ketchup if you want something saucy.
  3. If you don't want it cooked alongside beef, ask for it to be prepared without the broiler. Burger King cooks the Impossible patty on the same broiler as beef by default.
  4. Add classic fries.

In the app, open the Impossible Whopper, remove the mayo under "customize", and add the preparation note if the option is offered.

Breakfast

Before 10:30 a.m. most locations serve French toast sticks and hash browns, both vegan as served. Coffee is black only, since Burger King doesn't usually stock plant milk.

What to skip

Anything with cheese, mayo or creamy sauces. Onion rings and other limited-time sides vary, so ask before you order. Desserts and shakes are dairy-based.
